Are they talking Cad $ or HK $??

$4000 .. sounds like average price here for wedding photography ...   but if in HK .. I know price is lower .. but won't be that low??

Catpiano

For $1,000 .. if HKD .. ( $130  cad )   of course won't be good la..

Even just 2 hr, but also plus post editing time .. ( probaby JUST SHOOT this case )

Most wedding package will be $10K HKD plus ( full day, 2 photographers ) or $4K cad here la..

    That is what I mean .. I haven't heard anyone paid less then $10K ... ( decent job )

I mean, I am happy to just charge $1000 HKD .. and using my iphone to take pic ...  

I think the newpaper means $4,000 HKD is average for ~ 2 hr job ( probably 4-6 hr extra time on PP )

Problem is, nowadays, everyone can be a "photographer" ..  lots of people that I know, they charge less, ( Say $1k cad ) for wedding, and they are IT people, doing wedding photo as side job, as they know how to PS ....  not that bad outcome, but not great for sure.


However, few LYK I met here, are good photographers, their wedding pictures are awesome! ^_^

Even many many years ago ..  more then that la...

Again, it depends ..  like my wedding, all the photographers are my friends, they only charged me friendship price.. (as they are pro photographers, I didn't want them to take pic free)

Anyway, how do we know that is the truth? may be those are just some pictures taken by cell phone? DC? but not from the photographer  "IRAS" ??

Catpiano

CHEAP!

How come the pictures from IRAS's blog, are SO MUCH better??

Those pictures from facebook, are NOT nice .. however, may not ALL pic, when I looked at some so called "RO" photographers, they may take ~ 2000 plus pic, and only 200-300 end products, (great picture) of course, some pictures won't be good ..

I guess the problem is, IRAS should at least do some cropping and editing BEFORE she passed those pic to her clients .. but again, that CD, may NOT be the final product .. or that is only STAGE 1, for $1000 ..  as many photographers, will have a BASIC price, then PLUS PLUS PLUS .. for whatever editiong their clients want.

Anyway, just friendly remind, for those PHOTOGRAPHERS, should just offer FINAL files to their clients. (in general)

Some comments from facebook are dumb ..  who said indoor MUST use HIGH ISO? and outdoor MUST use LOW ISO?? how about back to film time?  ISO adjustment is just one good tool from DSLR.

And what the heck wrong is using TV mode?? photographer can always PRE SET the min and max aperture, so with high shutter speed not mean will ONLY use the max aperture ...  


Nowadays, just way so many "C HING" think they are photography experts la....   
Well, I feel bad with Iras.

Cecilia Apple ..

Even in Alberta ...  just average  ...

Catpiano

EL, you are right ..  here (Van and Seattle) are very different .. people here, are in general more picky .. however, price is 2-3 times more here too .. (labor cost is much higher ...  )

Some photographers I know here, they take good pic, but send to China for touch up, (skin +teeth + eyes, or even SLIM the body ... ) so .. instead of spending 30 hours ..  just spend $100 or so ....  

No matter how good the photographer is, can't help with bad skin, eye bag, yellow teeth, and body fat ...
